    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on 
new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This 
helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements 
and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public 
understand our information collection requirements and provide the 
requested data in the desired format.
    We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following:
    (1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether or not the information will have practical utility.
    (2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection 
of information, including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used.
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected.
    (4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., 
permitting electronic submission of response.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone 
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available 
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your 
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Abstract: The NPS is authorized by section 4 of the National Trails 
System Act (16 U.S.C. 1243) and Secretarial Order No. 3319 to 
administer the National Recreation Trail (NRT) program, which 
establishes National Water Trails as a class of National Recreation 
Trails and directs that such trails collectively be considered in a 
National Water Trails System.
    The NPS uses forms 10-1002: Application for Designation as National 
Water Trail and 10-1003: Application for Designation as National 
Recreation Trail to collect information NPS requires when submitting 
suitable trails or trail systems and water trails to the Secretary of 
the Interior for designation. The applications are evaluated for 
adherence to NRT requirements and criteria. NPS evaluation of an 
application is based on (1) the sufficiency of information provided on 
the application form and in supporting documentation, such as 
photographs, maps, and written landowner consents that accompany the 
form, and (2) successfully meeting the NRT requirements and criteria. 
Successful applications are forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior 
for approval.
